Here are some pictures of the collection of machines (three of them belonged to me)....

Everyone went really well and I do not think anyone was passed by a DF ! The wind was strong in places.

I managed an overall average on 36.2kph in the Mango with race hood, I have not ridden for 4 weeks due to crappy back and heavily sprained ankle over the last week and my heart rate was higher than normal by some margin.....but I was happy nonetheless........and broke the 40 kph speed limit quite a bit, think I Vmaxed at 47.5 kph.....

Velorossi was flying on his performer (with tailbox) and managed 36kph averages on his first few laps....not sure if he managed to sustain it over the 6 laps we all seemed to complete.....

My friend JP was scorching along on my Vortex and was averaging 32kph and the furthest he had been on my Vortex was about 500m before the event....he does a lot of MTBing so has huge legs but not 'bent legs and he did notice some unusual leg muscles working hard.....

The other guys all went well and we were probably a bit too serious as the other teams were having fun rides instead of racing.....

Some very random riding by many.....if they were on real roads a lot of the cyclist would be dead

Good day out.....I'll add my Garmin link after I upload and then tomorrow will look at the GoPro video......

Top report Mr Riggsbie, great effort from the whole team to get out there and display the world of "alternative biking"...hehehe, scared a few I think.Yeah my pace did drop off a little from the goal 36km/h average over the entire 6 laps, was great to pull out a huge lead for the first 2 laps before changeover though... empty track was sweet! My second session dropped to 35.5km/h and the final session was a very windy and traffic heavy 34.5km/h average (topped out for a max 45km/h at some point). Was a great experience (my first event) and definitely worth doing again. Next year guys we might have to split into 2 recumbent teams and really get a hustle on for the full 2 hours each rider?Well done guys.
